Sunday night’s show with Alan Doyle and his Beautiful Beautiful Band left the National Arts Centre’s Southam Hall buzzing (and slightly buzzed) as he played fan favourites, traditional songs and some of his new tunes as well. The night was filled with Newfoundland folk artists who graced the stage for the full house of adoring fans. The night was opened up by St.John natives, Fortunate Ones, who brought their traditional folk sound to fill the hall. Their unforgettable harmonies and accordion laced songs have made their way through Ottawa a number of times, this time bringing with them some new work with a pop twist to it. My first taste of the duo was at Blacksheep Inn when they opened for Nova Scotia’s own Rose Cousins (who is playing the NAC this Friday!) They have also come across the stage at City Folk as well as other stages at the National Arts Centre. The fashionable pair are always a good time, and I recommend you heading out to see them the next time they pass through.
Alan Doyle Brings Come Out With Me Tour To Kingston
Alan Doyle has been busy since Great Big Sea ended, with three solo albums and two books out, he is not sitting idle to be sure. He describes himself as “the luckiest guy I’ve ever even heard of” for the many events that led to being able to spend his life doing what he loves best, singing songs and playing concerts, and that shows very much in his stage show.
